Sounds encouraging, would be good for this to be a sell out just to shut "the great unwashed" up

All we need then is a 4-0 win and that would be the perfect weekend

They are made to arrive early to allow time for fumigating. I'm just on the train in from Rhoose and you can smell them from here.

Here we go come on City

That's a really good chance for Swansea.

Piroe dinks a ball over the defence for Obafemi.

Flag stays down, but he can't get anything on it.

idiots

shows the jacks regard this as their cup final not seen the play so forward Ever!

missed a chance

Superb header from Cabango to clear Ng's cross.

Think it was Hugill and Harris lurking.

3 city chances but no goal

What a chance.

Drameh fizzes a cross in from the right following a superb pass by Wintle in the middle.

Doyle gets a foot on it, but it falls for Hugill, who hits it towards goal.

A couple of swansea bodies are there to deflect it just wide of the post.

Resulting corner looks to have come off a Swansea head, but it's a goal kick for the Swans.

we are not doing enough at the moment

Swansea stringing together an infinite number of passes before a mistake allows Wolf the chance to race clear.

He goes out wide and that narrow the angle, before Wintle comes across to block the shot.

Cardiff now have a freekick on the halfway line.

Launched forward by Doyle, but it's pretty aimless and Swansea have the ball once again.

Swansea seem to want it more
